This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a device called the Addinex system that dispenses opioid pain medication on a schedule set by your doctor after cancer surgery. The device tracks how much medication you use and lets you safely return and dispose of any pills you don't need. Researchers want to see if this system works well and is practical for patients like you.
After surgery, patients often receive more pain medication than they end up needing, and leftover pills can be risky if they're not properly disposed of or if they're misused by others. This trial exists to test whether a smart dispenser can help patients get the right amount of medication while making it easier and safer to handle any unused pills.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive the Addinex device when you go home after your cancer surgery. Your doctor would set a medication schedule, and the device would dispense your pain pills according to that plan. The device tracks when you take your medication, and when you're ready to stop using it or have leftover pills, you can use the device to safely return and dispose of them. The study team will monitor how well the device works for you.
